Donald Trump told the Artemis II crew that he’s fit enough to be an astronaut, and got owned to the Moon and back – 21 funniest takedowns
We cross now to the delusional little corner of the world inhabited by Donald Trump, in which mirrors, health checks, and self-awareness apparently don’t exist.
The president had the honour of hosting the crew of the Moon mission Artemis II at the White House on Wednesday, and we’re sure they must have been thrilled to be there. THRILLED!

It is INFURIATING that the president is subjecting the Artemis II crew – the best of us – to one of his usual unhinged pressers pic.twitter.com/uZPuTsURkH

At least the astronauts were able to leave after a very short time. If Trump is to be believed (Narrator: He is not), he could have been up there with them for ten days.
Not AI. Not SNL.
Meeting the Artemis II astronauts, Trump claimed he’s physically “very, very good” and fit to be an astronaut:
“I would have had no trouble making it. I’m physically very, very good.”

A lot of people were very much behind the idea of testing his claim in a practical fashion.

There was a time when people thought stuff like this was funny and endearing but when you realize he means it and he's clinically insane it hits different. https://t.co/9OTeAjamGv
